It's a fine day to take advantage of the harmonious relationship of Jupiter and Saturn. It's like when you're a kid, and your parents are getting along really well. The household has a terrific mood, there are smiles and hugs going around -- and it's so much easier to ask for that bike. So ask for your "bike" now, and expect a "yes."

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're a master schmoozer -- you know how to do the rounds and still look busy. A walk to the printer is an excuse to linger and talk to the gal who sits next to the copier, or plumb a techie co-worker's knowledge base.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Pleasure feels out of reach. Try the old dieter's trick -- one day a week is an eat-anything-you-want day. Give yourself permission to go hog-wild real soon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In one Rolling Stones song, Mick sings he's not waiting on a lady, he's waiting on a friend. Heart and skirt chasing can wear even a rock star out. But it's worth it when you find someone to hold.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A little push sends you flying. You're not in a confidence crisis, either -- you have wings. It only takes the faith of someone who loves you to encourage them to open.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're not caught off guard by a sudden whim to throw a duffel bag into the back of your car and head down the coast are you? Some urges are meant to be followed, whole enchilada, but not this one.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 14). Though you've maintained your image well, this year you'll become well-known for something new. Publicity opportunities are featured next month. Take a financial risk in August -- you win big. Roam around a bit in September, and see what's out there for the taking. You have much in common with Libra and Aries people. Your lucky numbers are: 23, 10, 3, 26, 35 and 31.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The kid inside you is in cahoots with your inner baby sitter. So you keep going with the program, doing exactly what she tells you to do. You even go to bed early.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some people dig being contrary, but not you. Nope, it's just not your style to take the opposite POV just for the sake of argument. If you've ever seen Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters spar, you get it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone's testing your affections. Be an agent of grace by letting it slide by you without creating a fuss. You're much happier in the long run by treating it as inconsequential.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're cool as a cucumber, so it's hard for folks to know that what you're feeling is closer to pickled. Stew in the vinegar for a while, and let it soften you up. You don't need to take care of anything that time won't resolve.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Every day is a new opportunity to make your dreams manifest. But the principle of inertia will compel you to maintain your current state of activity (or inactivity) until something stronger comes along.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The devil's advocate tempts you with an indescribably delectable morsel -- a piece of lingerie or a new car. Your desires are open game. Would it help to know that you'll want to return it to the store tomorrow?

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I've been talking to someone online for almost a year and a half. We're now talking about meeting and having a relationship. He lives in another state. I would move. His birthday is Nov. 8, 1957, and mine is Oct. 18, 1961. What are our chances of a lasting relationship?"

Your Scorpio e-mail pal loves the secretive nature of the Internet, and you can bet he's an expert at coming across well online, though real life is an entirely different story -- not a bad story, just different. He's challenged by the prospect of expressing his emotional self face-to-face and can open up more easily through the computer. I see something in his chart that indicates he'll be concerned about how the partnership you create together will help him in other areas of life. If it fits well into his view of where he'd like to be in the world and how he'd like to be perceived, he'll work hard on the relationship and make you feel special, respected and honored. You have similar aspects in your own natal chart, and you communicate well with him, both intellectually and physically. Take a trip to visit him for two weeks in April. You'll know at the end of the trip whether you should move your stuff.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Songwriter extraordinaire, Carole Bayer Sager was recently featured as a guest judge on "American Idol," enduring the insult of would-be contestants not even knowing her name. But she'll get her due this year as she enjoys a repeat hit when one of her famous songs (possibly "Don't Cry Out Loud" or "That's What Friends Are For") is sampled and added to the main strain of a rap number.
